Description

Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. When she decides she wants a living wake, a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life she's led, it sets off a chain of events that reveals secrets and surprises everyone. As Flor prepares for her wake, her sisters are forced to confront their own lives and relationships. Matilde must face the truth about her husband's infidelity, while Pastora tries to solve her siblings' problems. Meanwhile, younger cousins Ona and Yadi navigate their own challenges, including reuniting with a first love and struggling to start a family. Told with Elizabeth Acevedo's unique voice, Family Lore is a powerful portrait of one family's journey through their history, weaving together past and present in a moving exploration of love, loyalty, and the complexities of relationships.
